Non-weight loss.

This is a super fabulous post for me to be bringing you after my big ol' weight loss reveal.

Thanks for the kind words, by the way. E-mail me anytime if you want any tips or a good motivational butt-kicking. I have heard from a few of you! Here's to shedding pudge!

Speaking of pudge...these bars are just too delicious to not share. And easy. You know me, I like the easy. They are not too WW friendly though, sorry.
I think you could get away with one.
Maybe...
The size of a penny.

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Bars

2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 c. sugar
2 1/2 t. vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 (20 oz.) pkgs. prepared chocolate chip cookie dough, frozen for 1/2 hour before use.
Powdered sugar...Optional


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Press one pkg. of cookie dough onto the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour the filling over the dough.

Slice the other dough pkg. into 1/4 inch rounds. Flatten the slices between you hands (spraying hands with pam makes this easy). Place on top of the filling, covering as much as you can (you don't have to cover the entire surface).

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cool completely; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting.

And your "tool" for this Tuesday?
I discovered via my uncle Dave...(Hi Dave!)
SLACKER.
A free online radio station.
They play some pretty good music, but the best part...is you can create your own "Station." You add fifteen of your favorite artists into a play list, and they play from just those artists. All the albums, B-sides, and live versions, good stuff, and you can skip songs, or take them completely out of the play list if you really hate it that bad.

I have created one station today, and I have a few in mind to add.

Lot's of good 80's tracks I haven't heard since I wore Acid Wash.
